The review provides the recent progress in processing of functional devices using oriented 2D nanomaterials and highlights alignment strategies that contributed to enhancement device performance.

High-resolution remote sensing images accelerate the development of information extraction and 3D city reconstruction. This paper concentrates on object-oriented methods to solve building extraction problems. With object-oriented methods, not only the spectral information but also the shape, contextual and semantic information can be used to extract objects. The object-oriented building extract...

Dynamic symbol systems (DSS) are a class of dynamic systems especially developed for modeling situated agents. They combine a symbolic format of representation with a selforganizing dynamics. The theory can be used for theoretical purposes, as a discrete, approximative reconstruction of continuous dynamic systems. It can also be used for the practical design of multi-granular information proces...

The CORBA Event Service provides a exible model for asynchronous communication among objects. However, the standard CORBA Event Service speciication lacks important features required by real-time applications. For instance, operational ight programs for ghter aircraft have complex real-time processing requirements. This paper describes the design and performance of an object-oriented, real-time...

— This paper proposes the use of attribute grammars in order to systematize the processing of XML documents in e-Learning environments. For this purpose, it presents XLOP (XML Language-Oriented Processing), an XML processing environment based on this technique. It also illustrates how XLOP is used in two different e-Learning contexts: language-driven production of educational applications, and ...

In data-oriented language processing, an annotated language corpus is used as a stochastic grammar. The most probable analysis of a new sentence is constructed by combining fragments from the corpus in the most probable way. This approach has been successfully used for syntactic analysis , using corpora with syntactic annotations such as the Penn Tree-bank. If a corpus with semantically annotat...

As with other distributed database systems, it is important in an Active Object Oriented Knowledge Base Management System (AOOKBMS) to be able to execute distributed queries efficiently and cost effectively. In this paper, we show how this task is being tackled in an ongoing project at the University of Florida dealing with Virtual Enterprises (VE). This project uses an AOOKBMS to not only desc...

Psychophysical studies indicate that perception of the colour and brightness of a surface depends on neural signals evoked by the borders of the surface rather than its interior. The visual cortex emphasizes contrast borders, but it is unclear whether colour surface signals also exist, whether colour border signals are orientation selective or mainly non-oriented, and whether cortical processin...

Data management technology changes the world we live in by providing efficient access to huge volumes of constantly changing data and by enabling sophisticated analysis of those data. Recently there has been an unprecedented increase in the demand for data management services. In parallel, we have witnessed a tremendous shift in the underlying hardware technology toward highly parallel multicor...
